Friend is away for a couple of days for a stag do. He doesn't normally drink so guessing not much would render him quite drunk. Last night I received a text at 1am but didn't see it till this morning. It was written terribly with a lot of typos and repeated letters in words so took me a few moments to understand what it said. The coherent version...without some random stuff at the beginning..

"Juyetii, poppy. I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Its so fucking beautiful. So so beautiful. Is it too late to tell you how I feel. You're the one. Let's go back to the beginning. I'm just wasting time. I know it might be complicated but it doesn't matter. it will be okay. I'm too fucking scared to tell you. I wish you feel the same.

I haven't received anything from him yet nor have I replied. I don't know what to make it of it really. Im pretty sure he was drunk when he sent it. Does he actually mean it if he was drunk? Do I bring it up / ignore it?! I've been thinking about it all day!

You need to have a chat with him, I guess from your message back he knows you aren’t horrified but you probably need to say a bit more than that after he’s declared true love

Go tor it

speakout · 28/07/2023 07:18

he's way out of my league

OP that thinking has to change. We attract what we think we deserve in life.

BlueMoonPurple · 28/07/2023 07:21

Mammyloveswine · 28/07/2023 07:22

Shamelessly invested in this!

Parsley1234 · 28/07/2023 07:24

Wow, you're brave! I would definitely have checked he didn't send it to the wrong person first 😂

It includes her name.

OhwhyOY · 28/07/2023 07:25

This is so lovely. Do keep us updated!

LiloP · 28/07/2023 07:25

Oh exciting. We need updates OP! Date after the stag do!!!

flosset · 28/07/2023 07:25

So invested in this. He seems sweet

CoffeeLover90 · 28/07/2023 07:25

Ah what a lovely thread to read first thing on a Friday.
Not happy about the phew though! I need more information!
Hope MOT went well 😁
Have to agree with PPs, don't put yourself down. But do come back and update us.

LivingitLarge · 28/07/2023 07:26

It sounds like he had sobered up by the second message!

WellPlaced · 28/07/2023 07:30

It’s interesting that some posters see it as romantic and others a turn-off.

I’m definitely in the romantic camp and also tend to say it as it is more when drunk

PimpMyFridge · 28/07/2023 07:35

Definitely don't be the first to suggest it was all the booze talking and actually just a ridiculous laugh really.
Just see what he says.
Meanwhile don't let us get you all worked up because MN can be all about the bad side of love life sometimes and we're so relieved we're all incurable romantics... You don't want a crash if it's not the start of an incredible romance and were all getting carried away.

This is lovely. He will be hungover and sorry when the stag do is over, invite him round as soon as he gets back and talk it out asap.

I agree with this but needs an initial text so he knows that you’re inviting him round for a serious talk.

Maybe something like:

”Are you able to come over for a coffee/glass of wine soon? It would be nice to talk x”

3luckystars · 28/07/2023 08:11

I’d say get him drunk when he comes home. He likes you.
All the best!!
